how are you

How are you ?

Good, what about you?

Hi I would like to delete my most recent post

Hi JayneG. This Danny Nai Saetern. Nice To Meet You.

I was trying to sign in on apple and this popped up. Why?

Ok thanks JayneG

Hello JayneG, I recently started my first article on Wikihow, but it says it needs some citing. I want to place cites in the References spot, but I can't and don't know how to do so. Could you lend me a hand?

Sincerely, KatieCat

It looks like the title got updated! Anyways, I was wondering if there's any place here to view available interwiki prefixes. Special:Interwiki is hidden so that got me curious :) The only one I've come across till now is wikipedia: for Wikipedia. If the table can be modified, could we have one for the forums?

Now that I am unblocked on wikiHow, I have a few questions to ask:

1. Why did you block me last month (despite being a trusted user in WMF and other wikis)? Is it because of side effects of licensing change (that led me to founding of a new how-to wiki)?
   • (before the licensing change in March (CC BY-NC-SA era), I was a trusted user on wikiHow: I have created many articles and got promoted. I am nominated for achievements on wikiHow Forums).
2. Does wikiHow have plans to update MediaWiki software to 1.43 LTS, which is supported? wikiHow currently runs MediaWiki 1.33.0-alpha (649e05d), which is a 6-year-old MediaWiki version and is no longer supported.
3. I have requested images on many articles in February, March and April, but most didn’t get the new Wikivisual images. Why?

Unfortunately, I am still blocked on wikiHow Forums (Discourse) until July 21st.

Hello, I want to publish article on home improvements tips & tricks but it is saying "this feature is only for experience members" so how to become experience or can you please create article if I gave you link?

I want to publish article which is also available on our main website, so how can I post here?

can i pretty please write an article? :)

If you don't mind me asking, any plans in the future towards interwiki prefixes then? :)

Just boosted an article. Bit of a niche thing, but have a look at https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Model-a-Plate-with-Holes-in-Solidworks-CAD&action=history . I didn't patrol any revision of this article at all. However, after the demotion, the patrol logs seem to show that I patrolled every unpatrolled revision of the article (twice?). Essentially, my name is being attached as the patroller of edits I'm not even aware about, without my knowledge! Is this intentional?

Hi Jayne! How are you? I hope you are well. I just wanted to ask about a couple of things. I’m aware I still have my co-authorship for my level 2 BSL, but I was wondering if my MSci in Speech and Language Therapy, and membership with the HCPC and RSCLT to be a registered speech and language therapist could be added to my certifications so I can co author these sorts of articles ?

Hello Jayne! I am so happy to help out with the WikiHow website! I was wondering how I can start writing articles for those less fortunate than me, to elevate them to a higher playing field?

Im trying to write an article for a college assingment and it says i cant can i get some help please

hello, I need to submit an article that I wrote for an assignment in school and it is not allowing me to submit it. Could you please allow me to do this.

Thank you! Actually been qualified almost a year now! Scary times! Studying and work took over for a bit😂. Then, hip surgery recovery and boredom hit, haha 😆.

Let me come up with a new blurb and I’m happy to send over any qualifications as well!

How are you doing

HI, i have done all the contributions that my professor has asked me to do and i am still not able to submit an article of my own. is there anyway you could approve me to submit an article because it is an assignment that is due for me. Please let me know, thank you.

Thanks, I liked it so much. I am willing to engage more. Thanks for everything

Thanks!

I want to post an Article of my own please help me out

Exactly! I tested it here , luckily it does not allow boosters to self-patrol their own edits, however it marked the 2 outstanding edits from my alt ( [1] [2] ) as patrolled. I'm curious whether this quirk exists when actioning from the Admin tab instead of NAB.

I want to join wiki how community by write articles and topics that I am interested in and want to share useful knowledge to this respectful community

hi

hi

Thanks

I see! Considering that most boosts I do are demotions that don't require as-thorough looks as promotions, I still think it'd be no harm to have those edits still go through patrol just to be safe against any unwanted edits like exlink additions. But with this newfound knowledge, I can imagine myself double-checking article histories in the future to review any edits that'll be getting patrolled in my name :) I now see the thought behind this mechanic and can appreciate the intent. Thanks for explaining!

Hello nice to meet u. Firstly I just want to tell u that I am new here and if u want to put me through something's it will be a great pleasure. u can call me Esther. Bye and have a wonderful weekend ☺️☺️☺️

Thanks for letting me join the community.

Was looking at hits of filter 34 and noticed Fly in Brookhaven . The one and only reference in this article seems to be a restricted Google Docs document...?

Hello, Jayne. I posted a concern/question to the Help Team page and was redirected to your profile as you may be able to provide further assistance. This is the snippet of the message I sent that contains my concern:

"This may sound a little silly but I used the "Article Greenhouse: FORMAT" feature and discovered a stubbed article. I changed the article's introduction and selected to keep the "FORMAT" warning, as I did not change the formatting at all (at least not yet.) However, I was still put on the formatting greenhouse leaderboard. I don't think it's a big deal, and next time I'll click on the article link. But, is there a way to get my fake formatting contribution removed from the leaderboard?"

Let me know if you are able and willing to help, and thank you for your understanding and time.

Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help. 🙌 - IDKAGUTU

How to publish article

I have made some WikiHow contributions and I still cannot write an article. What are the exact requirements to be able to write a WikiHow "how to" article? Do you have to have a certain amount of edits, time on the platform, questions answered? If possible, please give the answer exactly.

I cannot write an article. What are the exact requirements to be able to write a WikiHow "how to write an article"? If possible can i can write aricle in it , please give me the answer .

I didn't have a direct answer for the user so I felt this message on the Help Team should be passed on to you :)

Actually, they did show up when I was patrolling. That's why I reached out :)

Thank you for explaining that, Jayne!

It’s really encouraging to know that my edits might already be trusted enough not to need patrolling. I’ll keep doing my best to make helpful contributions and learn as I go.

Dear Jayne,

I hope you're doing well! I'm interested in contributing to wikiHow and would like to learn more about how I can write and publish an article. I came across a message saying that this feature is only available to more experienced users, so I wanted to ask what steps I should take to get started.

Could you please let me know how I can become eligible to write articles or if there’s a process I should follow?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Heyy, I'm back :D I've noticed a weird new change, if I go and check an old revision of a talk page or something like that it will just show me the current version?? And I've been seeing it like this on some articles as well. Is it supposed to be like this?

I need to write something for school but it wont let me write it

Best regards. I am currently writing a new article titled “How to Learn a New Language from Home.” I’ve already contacted wikihowinternational@gmail.com, and they directed me to follow the instructions provided in a link, which indicated that I should get in touch with you for the next steps.

Could you please confirm if I need any specific permissions or provide further guidance to proceed with the article submission?

Best regards, Mishael Wright LINGUALEE & AISC INTERNATIONAL CEO.

Aww thanks!

Hey, I would love to become a contributor and post articles on how to cook different dishes. I am working as the cofounder at coloradofoodreviews.com

Right now, my email address is having trouble sending and receiving mail. I'm sending you an email from my iCloud account. But its not too much different from my Outlook one.

Forget it. It was a setting I turned on for one of my focuses on my phone. But it's okay now that you have my iCloud email. I keep that email turned off when I don't have problems, and turned off that Low Power Mode feature for that focus.

Hello! Is it okay to read deleted Wikihow articles from Archive Wayback Machine, some of which are of high quality and I might try to follow them? I know the articles have been removed for a reason, but if I really like some deleted article, why not try it? There are many high quality, deleted articles. Of course, I wouldn't trust them like current articles, but I just would like to read them for fun.

I wanna write smth its not making me please help

Hey, is it ok if I add two videos to my article how to do the stroll? I noticed some articles include two videos so I'd like mine to include two as well.

What does this mean? Also could my how to get long lean legs article be a general one too? It has two videos.

Thank you jayne, hope you are doing well i want to know how can i write articles here i want to contribute also..

How can I get my article, how to do the stroll to be made into a wikihow made video?

,well i have worked on dashboard. still i don't have permission to write article , i hope you ll guide what are qualifications and requirement?

Okok so I just checked and it seems it's happening only on talk pages, though I could swear last week it was happening on articles as well? Anyway, it's good that it's like this now, for me, too.

Good morning - yesterday, there was an editor who did a bunch of editing on this article . I was unsure if I should patrol this or not; while the user did put a lot of good information there, there was an extra step on the first section where there was a ton of references (which also knocked out an expert citation in the process)—wondering if you could make a call on it! :)

Yay! Thank you. Finally...some relief.

hi

hello

How to post article?

Hey Jayne, A new question-answerer has arisen and brought up a possible bug, but it lies within the number of questions patrolled and answered on their page. I've been patrolling some of their pairs, but the true value isn't holding for their account. Would you mind shedding light on this ?

It's been periodically, but their latest ones being patrolled earlier today and the last set early this weekend.

Hi, Jayne! Can I get your opinion on this article ? Would NFD Vanity be appropriate since the writer mentioned that they made up the game?

Thanks for your help!

Let's make this quick note: Currently 15 pairs of QnA pairs are in Skip Limbo, awaiting patrol. I might've skipped them early on late last week, but I don't remember all the details.

Hi there! I’m really interested in writing articles for WikiHow, especially on life hacks and similar helpful topics. Right now, I’m not able to contribute because it seems the system thinks I haven’t been active long enough. However, I’ve actually spent a lot of time on the platform and feel confident in my understanding of the style and guidelines. Is there any way I could begin writing articles or go through a process to get approved sooner? I’d really love the opportunity to contribute.

I use to deliver pk. Fragile size up. Im flattered on technologgy.

Hello I'm new

Hey I would love to write anarticle for wiki how

Hello

Hi there, thanks so much for getting back to me. I completely understand the need for contributors to build experience first, and I’ll start working through the Community Dashboard right away.

Just to clarify, do I need to complete all of the tasks listed there to be considered eligible to write a new article, or would doing just one (like editing or replying to questions) be enough to qualify? I want to make sure I’m focusing my time where it matters most so I can get started writing as soon as possible. Thanks again for your guidance. I’m excited to contribute!

My mind has skewed off on a tangent. How should I figure out what could be causing that problem. I'm not seeing any other pairs from them and those skipped pairs aren't displaying for me. I've ensured I've finished all the pairs and each time it leads the Skip Limbo to a total of 12 stuck.

Where do I go from here?

hi am new here and I would love to know you more please

Oh man. I just now saw. What happened, in-Haus?

Want to write an article but giving error Sorry! This feature is only available for more experienced wikiHow users.

Thank you for your service to wikiHow.

Have a happy retirement.

i wish good luck for you

Dear JayneG,

I would be delighted to lend a hand by answering requests and crafting engaging articles. Your mission inspires me, and I would love to contribute in any way I can!

surely thank you dear for the care rendered to me

Actually all I can say to you is that everything going on well

你好，我是新来的，我想发作品，需要跟您联系！

A few quick questions:

• Are your mentions to be replaced with CommunityTeam in the wikiHow-side articles?
• Does Special:EmailUser/CommunityTeam work for emails that would usually be sent to you? Getting elevated roles also requires emailing you so that got me concerned as well.

Oh, and in case you missed my last message because of the buggy email notifications - here's a link :) https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=User_talk:JayneG&diff=33565303&oldid=33564522

It may have just been a glitch and the AI Simplifier in QAP just freaked out, holding a bunch hostage while going on a checking mission.

Hi Jayne -- I just came across your message on the Forums. As a wikiHowian I am truly saddened to hear about your leaving, but I am delighted to learn that you are heading off with grand plans.

I wanted to express my gratitude for all that you have done for me and the rest of us throughout our time together. It's hard to believe that our first interaction was almost 6 years ago, and in that process your guidance has taught me what kindness and mentorship can do -- it can inspire a person, just as you inspired me. You have helped me grow as a wikiHowian, an editor, and most importantly, as a person.

Many memories come to mind when I think of your mentorship. Countless, in fact, because it is your unrelenting warmth that walks the entire length of my half a decade or so on this site. Your leaving will truly be the end of an era for us all. So on behalf of what I am certain is everyone, thank you for your dedication to this community. Thank you for helping us grow.

Thanks Jayne!

I'm curious - at what point could I write a new article? There are some niches I don't see covered yet.

Hello! I just don't understand how to write an article. I have been answering lots of questions, and it still does not let me write an article. Is there an explanation for this?

Not trying to turn a deaf ear on you in your final days, but with my real birthday today, it's going to be tricky. I always put my best foot forward on my bday, wrapping up the ramp up (it became mid-grade this year), but I always have projects for the rest of the year.

There were so many things I had planned for a follow up (to end on a good note), but I guess I'll try to approach things differently. I had projects I stashed away a bit deleted now, incomplete, all so that my mind focuses back on my wikiHow editing and patrolling. I started things, and now I have to clean up what I started - that's where I pick up now. Just believe me, I always finish what I start.

Hj

I couldn't have imagined that I'd be asked to do the honours of leading a whole community project! Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity!

Performing a search using some parameters ( link ) revealed that there weren't as many pages, so I ended up going through and updating wherever I felt appropriate. (please feel free to go over the edits) For the fully-protected ones and the ones I didn't feel comfortable updating, I've compiled a list at User:Bhoimus/CommunityTeam swap . Let me know if you'd like me to link that page onto the ANB . I did my best to ensure no (appropriate) pages were left out, but a double-check wouldn't hurt ;)

Again, I really appreciated you asking me for the leadership role :)

p.s. While on this journey, I found a few quirky pages:

• Write a Resignation Letter - Its quick summary says 2018 in an example, do you think the date should be updated?
• Say and Write China in Chinese - Says "Co-authored by 0 contributors", is promoted, however has a copyvio.
• wikiHow:Writer's Guide - has some extra text while in edit mode.

I removed the copyvio from the article above because it's a WRM creation, but it does appear to be copied and pasted with zero changes from the copyvio link, which I thought was interesting

EDIT: The original article (?) predates the website so I assume the website came second!

Thank you for your nice words, and you're welcome :) Appreciate the update as well. My guess is that your talk page will now be cleaner than ever ;) unless you have WelcomeBot, ofcourse. Speaking of which, will the new account be on the rotation? Also, is it a shared account? It's easier to just say "Remember [x]?" when it's a singular person rather than explaining the context every time!
